Generate a Rails Application - Sublime Text 2

I've been stuck with this problem for a while now, when I work on "building a simple application" on ruby on rails, then try to find it on sublime text, it won't work. http://teamtreehouse.com/library/programming/build-a-simple-ruby-on-rails-application/getting-started-with-rails/generate-a-rails-application <--in this video, the guy just opens up sublime text and the treebook folder is already there. I'm gonna need sublime text for future stages of the project as I keep going further with this. The guy doesn't even show how he found his ruby application on sublime text. Is it because he's using Mac and I'm using windows? I've been stuck with this for a while now and no one seems to know the answer to my problem. If you can please help me, that would be absolutely great. Thank you :)

If you remember where you installed the ruby project you can just use the open feature on Sublime Text and select all the files to open. This should then import all your files into Sublime Text.

I hope that's what you meant :)

No that's not what I meant, I need my ruby application to show up on sublime text so I can work on it through there too, as it is needed just as shown in the future videos. BUT, I can't find my application folder in sublime text when I open up the folders. I followed every step in the video, they could've showed us how to find the ruby application in sublime text, it just magically appears in sublime text when they open up sublime text. I'm even starting to think that it's because I'm using windows instead of Mac like they are.....

Where did you create the app?

On Ruby on Rails Command Prompt

Start again and move tot he desktop on command prompt and create the ruby app on your desktop. You will then see the folder on the desktop with the same name you gave it in CMD. Then just open up sublime text and drag and drop the folder from the desktop into the sublime text view.

Who the hell do I move the desktop on command prompt, and how in the world am I supposed to drag to drag it. You have to explain that in a better way...please

Doy you know how to change directories on command prompt? Also don't use the ruby console use your normal windows cmd. You can drag folders into sublime text or at the top click on project and then click add folder to project.
